This will probably reach 2.1ghz as well, if the price is around $250 I would say it's a steal. Problem is the sli support, this would've been ideal for sli

No sli is a missed opportunity indeed. However, we know this is going to keep within spec, so, this will probably be the go-to card for the budget minded.

How is SLI ideal of something in this range when all the problems that come with multi-GPU are still there and you'd be better off just putting down for a 1070 or whatever?

and cheaper. not sure why i want to spend 5-600, when a 1080 will most likely soon be around that.

SLI is still in rumor form. I heard 6GB version might have SLI (opposed to 3GB)

2x 1060s is going to cost more than 1x 1070 and about the same as 1x 1080. 2x 1060s means more heat, more power needed. Ultimately to get similar performance to those single cards, when it works.

If you are one of those "I may want to SLI in the future" consumers, when that future arrives, there will be a better, cheap single card option. There always is. I've been one of those consumers. So again, I'm not seeing the issue with Nvidia focusing on SLI for higher end only.

As for the card, looks like a winner. Not sure why the RX480 is all the talk. That's a fine card, but it looks like this is even better in that same price range. Good news for gamers.

Well, tbth, I only want GTX1060 to have Sli because RX480 has crossfire, otherwise wouldn't even bother me.

It is just the picture of some GTX 1060. It is NOT the picture of GTX 1060 being tested.

People are dreaming if they think this card will be 200. You are looking at 229 US for the 3GB version, and 269 US for the 6GB version. However, people have their hearts in the right place. With 1280 cuda cores, this card should indeed be 189 US for the 3GB model and 219 US for the 6GB model.

Another card, that from those benchmarks, looks disappointing to people that own r9 290 performance equivalent cards looking for a slight performance increase. I'll wait to see what AMD's high end offerings are, then probably buy a GTX 1070 anyway. Or any card with decent 1440p performance that has materialised by then.
